A red lorry and silver Mercedes collided at 00:30 GMT on the motorway between J1 for Holbeck and J27 of the M62, according to West Yorkshire Police.

The westbound carriageway remains closed between the two junctions.

A passenger in the car aged in his 20s died at the scene, with three other occupants of the car taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police said.

The HGV driver was unharmed.
